BuddyPress.org

You need to narrow down the possible sources of the issue.
Have you tried in with a WP theme like 2016 ?
Do you have the same issue with avatars on your member profile screen?
Have you checked your browser’s javascript console for errors? This is a good place to check for conflicts with other plugins.

It should be okay. And just install it to find out for sure.
There is also this one that may be a little better re BP Theme Compat:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-skeleton-component/tree/1.7

The best way, for now, is to look thru the codebase for examples of how the BP_Component class is extended to create components.

As stated, the code is just an example of collecting the groups and group members.

You could put the code in a function and then call that function wherever you want.
For example, this could go in your theme > functions.php file :

function diego_show_groups() {

	$args = array(
		 'show_hidden'   => true,
		 'per_page'      => -1      
	);

	$groups = groups_get_groups( $args );

	foreach ( $groups['groups'] as $group ) {
				
		$args = array(
			'group_id'   		=> $group->id,
			'exclude_admins_mods'   => false      
		);

		$members = groups_get_group_members( $args ); 
		
		echo'<pre>'; var_dump( $members );  echo'</pre>'; // just for reference
		
		// do something with the member data
	}
	
}

Then in a template, you could put: <?php diego_show_groups(); ?>

Only you know exactly what you’re trying to do.
As I said: Where and when you place the data is up to you.

If you mean the Private Message button at the top of a profile page, then place this code in bp-custom.php or in your theme > functions.php

function lindsay_profile_button() {
?>
	<div class="generic-button"><a href="https://google.com" >go to google</a></div>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions', 'lindsay_profile_button', 25 );

If ‘Private Messaging’ means something else, then you need to talk to the creators of that code because it does not come from BuddyPress.

The first thing to do would be to deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if the fault remains. If it does then you need to check if you have overloaded the file by looking in wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/messages/compose.php, if this file exists then check permissions and file content, if it does not exist then check permissions of wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy or bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/messages/compose.php

If you are creating new custom post types then you can just add the same field group to the new post types. Fields can have the same names when used on different post types.

If I understand what you doing though, I’d probably set up a custom taxonomy of location for the custom post type, then you can create separate lists for each location and only need to add one more template file to your theme “taxonomy-location.php”

This can take care of the top part at least, but not the page title. I’m still working on figuring that one out.

PS. I’m old school. I don’t use child themes.

On your profile, go to ‘Profile’.
You should see these tabs:

• View
• Edit
• Change Profile Photo
• Change Cover Image

The avatar is on the Change Profile Photo screen.

If you don’t see it, to narrow things down, try momentarily changing to a WP theme like 2016.
Also try changing the Template Pack in BuddyPress > Options

also check your themes functions.php file, you may have some scripts in there.

You can use any theme with BuddyPress.
There are some themes that place an emphasis on BuddyPress, for example BuddyBoss.
You can choose one of two template packs in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Options > Template Pack.
And you can customize the BP templates – if you know how to write code.
More info here.

BuddyPress does not require a user to be logged in order to view a profile.

You have some code on your site ( in a plugin, your theme or some custom code ), that is doing the redirect. You’ll need to find and remove or adjust that code.

Hello all, I am having the same problem. It started about a month ago and I have disabled most of the plugins and still does the same. I am using the theme Graphene Plus. I have tried everything but unable to come up with a solution.
